Will 6.5Jx16" Wheel fit 2001 Volvo V70XC?

I'm getting ready for winter and looking to get a set of rims to mount snow tires on.

I have a 2001 V70XC VIN: YV1SZ58D711028693. I believe it has 7Jx16" rims, but not certain. The wheels do not have it stamped on the outside. Volvo dealer stated 7Jx16.

I found a set of 6.5Jx16" Volvo wheels for a fair price. Before I buy, I'd like to confirm if there is enough clearance/back spacing or any other possible issues.

Thanks in advance!

You don't mention tire size but a 215 should work on 6.5 wheels. What's important here is the offset, usually stamped on the inner face of the wheel, somewhere. It is crucial is same or smaller than the one stamped on your original wheels, or it won't clear the front brakes. Also check the center bore is the same.
